Ordem dos Psicólogos

Mandatory Registration with the Order

09.February.2010

Despite all the efforts to provide information, which is supported by legal grounds, the mandatory nature of registering with the Order still seems to elude some colleagues. Therefore, we hereby transcribe the third FAQ on the website in the Registration section "The title of psychologist, its use and professional practice, in any activity sector, requires registration with the OPP, as a full member. In accordance with Article 1 (2) of the OPP Registration Regulations, a person cannot use the title of psychologist or trainee psychologist until they have registered as such with the Order"; and Law nº 57/2008 which in Article 50 states: "The title of psychologist, its use and professional practice, in any activity sector, requires registration with the Ordem dos Psicólogos as a Full Member".
